PETTY: NORTH (OR LAKE) LANCASHIRE FLORA. 83 
II. ALIENS, DENIZENS, COLONISTS, Etc. 
Amongst these plants I have had some difficulty in deciding 
what to include, and only hope the selection may prove interesting. 
In Crocus, remembering Dr. Payne’s query, I have given all the 
explanations I could get of the origin in this district. I think there 
is no doubt that the plant is zo¢ indigenous in Britain. 
Berberis Darwinii. Pointed out to me by Mr. W. Duckworth in 
Brick-Kiln Lane, near Ulverston. The remains of an old 
‘hedge. Ought this to be called naturalised ? 
Meconopsis cambrica. On the road-side between Beck Bottom 
and Wood End, near Penny Bridge. In this instance a long 
way from any house. At Coniston it appears on the road to 
Brantwood, and, passing there, goes down to the Lake, about 
half a mile beyond Mr. Ruskin’s residence. Escaped from 
cultivation. 
Alyssum maritimum. On the sea-wall north of Kents Bank. 
An escape from the garden patch of signal-box East of Grange. 
Where Hindson found it I do not know. The Flora, p. 34. 
Iberis amara. Coniston, in a wood near Hollin Bank. Probably 
an outcast from the garden there. 
Saponaria officinalis. Newlands Bottom, near Ulverston 
r. W. Duckworth, 1890-91). I saw it in 1888, on road- 
ag outside a house near Rampside. Probably an escape. 
ker—Flora, 45—says ‘ Rare.’ 
Gerasiuts phzeum. Greety Gate, near Broughton-in-Furness. 
Now (1891) almost, if not quite, extinct. 
Impatiens noli-me-tangere. Banks of the Lickle, near 
Broughton-in-Furness ; near Duddon Bridge ; on both Cum- 
berland and Lancashire sides of the river; Cumberland, above 
the bridge ; Lancashire, below, with A/imudus. It was reported 
by J. Robson from the Cumberland side. (See the Flora, p. 64). 
Mr. Baker, amongst the Westmorland records, says :—‘ First 
recorded by Lawson.’ So it was, and from a definite 
Ribes rubrum. Coniston, side of Yewdale Beck. In hedge, 
road-side between Hawkshead and Hannakin. Seen in fruit 
in both cases. 
Sedum rupestre. Walls, Broughton-in-Furness, as rerorded by 
Miss Hodgson (North or *Lake Lancashire, 1874, and in 
Journal of Botany, 1874, from which the articles were 
reprinted). ‘ Introduced,’ says Miss Hodgson, and from its 
position this is very probable. Walls at —— Ground, near 
____ Broughton-in-Furness, probably planted. 
March x 1892.
